Mercedes-Benz signs agreement to pilot Apptronik's Apollo in its factories
Apptronik and Mercedes-Benz agreed to find uses for the Apollo humanoid in Mercedes factories, starting with logistics: bringing kits of parts to the line, inspecting components and delivering totes. Humanoids fit spaces built for people, avoiding full plant redesigns.
- Mercedes-Benz pilot focus: parts delivery, component inspection, and tote movement on assembly lines.
- Apollo (5'8", 160 lbs) operates safely in human-designed spaces without facility redesigns.
- Collaborative design enables safe operation alongside human workers with force control.
- Apptronik's first publicly announced commercial partnership.
